Design with a purpose and a pen on white paper

Design with purpose

We see design as a creative, developing process with an outcome telling a story. Design can be just about anything from a nice looking setting on the table to an actual house, but how and for what it is used determines its ultimate purpose as a finished product. Our designs have two main purposes, and they both contribute to the ultimate purpose we have as a company.

The story of MyNolla by Miska

With a background as a wood artisan and wood designer, MyNolla's Founder Miska learned to work and utilize wood for various purposes and especially to bring out its unique character by combining it with different materials. Bringing wood into MyNolla Strip was an integral part of the whole design process. Curiosity and the drive to figure out how things and objects work has led him to question the way things are now, and how you can get the most out of the product.

Launching a new product is a complex way to go. With certain legislation, permits, requirements as well as our own base of values and requirements, we have faced numerous challenges, unexpected situations and wonders from every little detail. Launching a new product is an exciting journey!

With MyNolla, we didn't just want to improve the looks. Most of all we're here creating products that are meant to be used on a daily basis, and thus we are adding special features to really make them stand out.

At the heart of Finnish design

Above all, our Finnish design is design with purpose. Not only do we design to create beautiful objects, but at the same time we want to build necessities. Our design process is wanting to reach beyond and create things anew.
